Man
juggled in space for the first time on April 15, 1985, but he ate the
evidence!

Don
Williams, pilot of the NASA shuttle Discovery, manipulated apples and
oranges in what he described as "a slow­motion act" as part
of a Houston scientist's "Toys In Space" project. He would
like to have used his own set of bean bags, but NASA only allowed two
pounds of toys for the experiment in weightless play, so for
efficiency's sake the on-board fruit did double-duty.

Since
the path of a thrown object continues straight in the weightlessness of
space, Williams tossed the fruit from hand to hand across his body to
achieve a three­object, two-hand pattern - briefly. Expressing a bit of
disappointment in his performance of the historic first, Williams

said, "I wish I'd had a little more time to practice." The
entire manipulation sequence lasted just two minutes before Williams was
called to work on other astronautical tasks. "With time to work it
out, some interesting things could surely be done by someone with more
proficiency than me," he said.
